Common Types of Personal Injury Claims in York County, VA

Personal injury law is a diverse field that covers almost every way a person can be injured due to the actions of another. The following are some of the most common types of personal injury claims our firm handles.

Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

According to the Commonwealth of Virginia 2023 Virginia Traffic Crash Facts report, there were roughly 1,000 accidents in York County in 2023, resulting in 426 injuries. While this number may seem relatively low, it is nearly the same number of accidents that occurred in Alexandria, which has more than three times as many licensed drivers.

If you are injured in a vehicle accident in York County, our legal team will help you gather evidence to support your claim and handle difficult conversations with the insurance companies.

Boating Accidents

Boating accidents can sometimes be more complicated than accidents on the road. If another boat strikes your vessel while you are on York River, you may not know whether you have the right of way. Our attorneys understand maritime laws in Virginia and can help you determine whether you are eligible for personal injury compensation.

Premises Liability

If you are legally on the premises of another party, that party has a duty to protect your safety while you are there. Failing to uphold this duty can result in a slip and falls, illnesses due to poor food safety, and a variety of other injuries. When this happens, you may be able to file a premises liability lawsuit.

Product Liability

Manufacturers are required to create products that are safe for use. When a manufacturer creates a defective product, whether it’s a bike with faulty brakes or a piece of furniture prone to tipping and falling, you have the right to pursue compensation if you are injured while using the product.

Wrongful Death

When an accident results in death, the loved ones of the victim may have the right to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. If you lost a loved one due to the actions of another, contact our firm as soon as possible.

Dog Bites

If a dog in York County has ever bitten someone before, the owner may be liable if that same dog bites you. Our law firm will investigate the history of the dog to determine whether the owner should have known it was dangerous.

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

You have a personal injury claim if another party’s negligent or intentional actions resulted in your harm. For example, if another driver was texting while driving, that inattention may cause an accident.

If we can prove that the accident wouldn’t have occurred had the other party not been negligent, we might be able to obtain personal injury damages for you.

Personal injury laws are complicated in Virginia. You shouldn’t try to determine whether you have a legitimate claim without contacting a York County personal injury lawyer at our law firm. We can help you determine whether you have a strong claim during your free consultation.

How to Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer for an Accident in York County, VA

Choosing a York County personal injury lawyer doesn’t have to be a struggle. At Huffman & Huffman, we make it easy for you to determine whether we are the right law firm to represent you.

Regardless of the circumstances of your case, we offer you a free consultation before you have to make any decisions about how to proceed with your case. During that consultation, we encourage you to ask questions about our past cases, fees, and what you should expect if you choose to pursue legal action.

Our results and reviews speak for themselves, and we encourage you to view them so you can make an educated decision about whether we are the right attorneys to represent you.

What to Expect When Working With a York County Personal Injury Lawyer

While every case is different, after hiring our firm, you can expect our legal team to take the following steps.

We typically start by investigating your claim and gathering as much evidence as possible. Due to how contributory negligence works in Virginia, we need considerable evidence to show that you were not partially responsible for your injury. We also need evidence to prove the value of your damages.

In most cases, we recommend filing a lawsuit against any liable parties, as it can give your case stronger leverage and increase your chance of receiving fair compensation.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

Typically, you will be eligible to receive compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses related to your injury. Furthermore, depending on the circumstances of your case, you may also be compensated for pain and suffering. Every case is different, and you should discuss potential damages during your free consultation.
